Application Made for 5G Mast Near Entrance to Chiswick Park |
|
20 metre high structure would be built close to former BSI Tower
Another application (P/2022/2440) has been to erect a 20 metre high 5G mast on Chiswick High Road next to the entrance to Chiswick Business Park. It would be sited down the road from Gunnersbury Station near the former BSI Tower and would replace an eleven metre high mast. The existing cabinets at the location would be replaced with new ones. The application has been made by Mobile Broadband Network Limited which is jointly owned by EE and Three and enables the build out of a shared network. The applicant says that an upgrade in the technology is needed at this site is needed due to the high density of users in the area. It is pointed out that there are no residential properties within 40 metres of the proposed location and there are no listed buildings in close proximity. There has been increased occupancy at offices in the area as working from home reduces and the recent opening of a university campus in the business park has created additional demands on the network. Planning authorities do not consider objections made to telecommunication masts on health grounds as government policy is to accept research that they present no risk to the public.
